This circuit, found in EDN documentation from the 90's, implements a clamp without signal deformation. The integrated circuit is from that time, uncommon nowadays.
This circuit, suggested by Siemens, allows the activation of 24 V solenoids from TTL LSL signals,...
In the figure we have the way to linearize the response of a TTL port with the use of a feedback...
In the figure we have the original version of an amplifier with high input impedance, 1.2 M ohms....
